The 2024-25 Carabao Cup is once again the first chance for silverware in the 2024/25 campaign—Community Shield aside—and the tournament is already in full swing.
While it may lack the glamour of other competitions, this is a trophy that shouldn’t be underestimated. Pep Guardiola's Manchester City were regulars in hoisting this cup before their title runs, and Liverpool, during Jurgen Klopp's final season, currently hold the crown.
Yet, this competition is also a golden opportunity for smaller English Football League clubs to make their mark.
The third round of the EFL Cup is currently underway, as Premier League clubs involved in European competitions make their entrance. Teams from the Championship, League One, and League Two slugged it out in the first round, with 13 top-tier sides stepping in for the second. Now, the heavyweights—Manchester City and Arsenal among them—join the fray.
